Hi,
Summary:
The K2/100 does have a built in SWR meter. (Via the tune button)
The K2 (standard version) can be addapted to have an SWR meter or it can be
used with options (ATUs...) to show the SWR.
Thank you for all the replies, I must have had about 50 replies in about an
hour, with some

I have been getting excellent ssb results recently using a Computer mic.
Just plug it in the rear mic socket and select rear connector, Hi with
Bias, if drive level is too high try rP.L bIAS instead of rP.H bIAS
pretty much ANY computer mic will do. The one I use currently I bought on

It would be nice if it were mojo. I try not to tell anyone I am running 10

I listen to the QRO operators on 75 in the evening and some seem to think

I only use FSK TX, not AFSK, and decode in parallel with a DXP38 and MMTTY

John,
This is the only mic I have in the shack. A Heil Proset using the adapter.
You can make one quite easily. In fact, you could leave off the foot switch

using an HC-5 too. Don;t really remember.

Do you also have the KAT2 installed in your K2?
If you do, did your see the note with the K60XV that the KAT2 R6 value
must be increased to 470 ohms?
Also:
The power knob does control the power output from the low power output
jack on the K2. With the power knob set at full rotation,
Thanks to evryone who responded. I now have the info I needed.
Although I am primarilly a CW op, and lately digi-modes since getting my K3, I
was thinking that the Proset would be useful for playing in the occasional SSB

I too have just been using a cheap computer mic with good results that I

should be good to go. However, if you want PTT , you will have to use an

Yes, the K2 has a Squelch feature. It's accessed through the

I believe the adapter supplied with the Elecraft Pro Set is a true Kenwood

If you wanted to use a Kenwood microphone setup you wired the K2
accordingly. That would put bias on pin 5. The Elecraft Pro
